Study Notes
Triangle Classifications
- Acute Triangle: Contains three acute angles, each less than 90 degrees.
- Equiangular Triangle: Features three congruent acute angles, thereby also being an acute triangle.
- Right Triangle: Characterized by having one right angle, equal to 90 degrees.
- Obtuse Triangle: Contains one obtuse angle, which is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Equilateral Triangle: Distinguished by having three congruent sides and angles, each measuring 60 degrees.
- Isosceles Triangle: Comprises at least two congruent sides and the angles opposite those sides are also congruent.
- Scalene Triangle: No sides or angles are congruent, making all sides and angles different in measurement.
Angle Definitions
- Interior: Refers to all points located within the triangle itself.
- Exterior: Comprises all points that lie outside the triangle.
Angle Relationships
- Interior Angle: Formed by the intersection of two sides of the triangle.
- Exterior Angle: Created by one side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side.
- Remote Interior Angle: An interior angle that is not adjacent to the corresponding exterior angle.
Theorems
- Exterior Angle Theorem: States that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles.
- Third Angles Theorem: Indicates that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles in both triangles are also congruent.
